The Trust has made wide ranging awards to foster the advancement of citizenship and community development.
In particular frequent grants are made to the youth organisations in respect of camping equipment, minibuses, musical instruments and renovation of club premises. Funds have also been made available to establish a drop-in centre at Mere Green and refurbish one in the town centre.
Grants were provided towards the purchase and running of a Community Bus in Banners Gate, develop the Communty Hub premises at Mere Green and Farthing Lane and repair and upgrade the Womens Institute hut in Walmley.
